Haha such a dilemma to decide. Actually not, headers were the best mod/cost/performance I ever did on the V1.

All "out of stock" orders should ship by Friday this week.

Well, need a piece of pavement to call my own. Not necessarily a lift. But something to call my own.

I bought that bearing a few months ago, right when winter snuck in. The car has started five or six times since winter began. Now it is teasing me with spring time, but still three or four more chances for snow in this very late time snow-fall.

I want a house now that I have fun stuff. I need a house.

UPDATE:
In our attempt to produce a product that will function best across all the platforms we support, especially to cover the gap in manufacturing differences between vehicles in those brands....
We have come up with a new design utilizing a different formulation of polyurethane, which should maintain the same characteristics under load while reducing the potential NVH. Hope you guys like it!

This new design utilizes injection molding to get a more uniform part. We have switched to 60 shore A polyurethane. Our very first prototype carrier for the ctvs was produced from the same formula, and was manually drilled. It worked fabulously. This new design is trying to mimic that. Easier to produce with mess waste and reworking. Less bonding issues during manufacturing.

Excited to get it rolling out.
